Caritas Tal-Ibwar helps rehabilitate young drug addicts in Malta
Action in the field of drug dependence for children and adolescents through sport and contact with nature
Current Project
Caritas Tal-Ibwar‘s Therapeutic Services for Young People supports and empowers adolescents struggling with drug-related problems. The aim is to help them break free from their dependency, to be able to reach their full potential and to improve their lives. Working closely with families and providing learning experiences and psychosocial support, the programme is run in residential centres with several main areas of action: attachment, regulation, competency and adventure therapy. This therapeutic approach combines outdoor activities, teamwork and challenges to promote personal growth, self-discovery and mental wellbeing.
The adventure therapy programme includes team building expeditions, eco-kayaking, snorkelling, long distance running, camping, trekking, orienteering and cycling.
